TEXT: Come, rain, come down, come, rain, come down,
Heaven’s tears of mercy, come a-runnin’ down.
Say no words, it is too soon, say no words out loud.
But wrap your quiet arms around, hide us in your cloud.
Come wash away this grief and pain,
and let all hearts be clean.
And bring the fairest flow’rs
to meet the sorrows we have seen.
A little lower than the angels we were born to be,
Yet which of all the creatures knows this misery?
Come, rain, come down, come, rain, come down,
Heaven’s tears of mercy, come a-runnin’ down.

CoverSea Shell [level: Easy]
Vicente Chavarria
voicing: SSA | catalog number: SBMP 1323 | duration: 2:00 | price: $1.95
accompaniment: piano

Amy Lowell’s highly imaginative poem would have us find sea shells that sing of ships and sailor men, of fishes and corals under the waves, and seahorses stabled in great green caves. Melodies rule here, with everyone getting a turn at being the “sea shell” singer delivering the tune. This is a fun, delightful piece.

CoverSednalo e Djore dos [level: Difficult]
arr. Sara Shakliyan
voicing: SATB | catalog number: SBMP 514 | duration: 3:05 | price: $2.60
accompaniment: a cappella

The Bulgarian/American composer has chosen a fun-filled popular folk song from her native land to set for the adventuresome choir. The Bulgarian text is quite repetitive and the pronunciation easy since the vowels are pure as in Italian with the exception of one word. Fast and dance like, the piece starts innocently and ends in a giant flourish.
